Warden (social security number 444-44-4440) file a joint return. Both are 50-years old, have good eyesight, and live with their three children, Edward, John and Ruth, at 789 N. Code Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60699. The Warden's home phone number is 312-565-9988. Mr. Warden elects to have $3 of his income tax go to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund. Mrs. Warden elects not to contribute. The Wardens' oldest son, Edward, is 20 years old and a student at the University of Finance and Accounting. He worked during the summer and earned $4,000. Their other son, John, is 17 and a high school student. He earned $3,600 working full-time during the summer and part-time during the remainder of the year. Neither son had any additional income.

All rights reserved. 1 In August, the Wardens paid $4,000 in tuition for their son, Edward, for the academic period that started in September. They received a Form 1098-T for 2016 showing the payment received in Box 1. Box 8 is checked indicating Edward was at least a half-time student. Edward had not claimed the American Opportunity Credit or Hope Scholarship Credit in any four prior tax years, did not complete the first four years of post-secondary education before 2016, and he had not been convicted of any felony. The Wardens claim Mrs. Warden's mother, Grace D. Taylor, as a dependent under a multiple-support agreement. The total support of Mrs. Taylor is $6,000, received from the following three sources: (1) $3,000 from Mary Warden, (2) $1,000 from another daughter, Thelma Taylor, and (3) $2,000 in social security benefits. Mrs. Grace D. Taylor lived with the Wardens during all of 2016. Her social security number is 400-44-0004. Thelma Taylor provides the Warden's with a written, signed statement, that she will not claim her mother as a dependent in 2016. Thelma Taylor lives at 1425 S. 62nd Street, Chicago, IL 60699, and her social security number is 500-55-0005. The Wardens use Trish Ford, a professional tax preparer, to prepare their income tax return. Trish Ford's PTIN is P98765432, and she works for E&Z Tax Preparation (EIN #36-0987654), which is located in a nearby suburb of Middle America (telephone number 312-555-1040). However, the Warden's do not authorize her to discuss their return with the IRS. INCOME AND EXPENSES GENERALLY During 2016, Mrs. Warden was employed as a salesperson by XPert Publishing Inc. Her Form W-2 for 2016 reports the following: Box 1. Wages, tips and other compensation $75,000 Box 2. Federal income tax withheld $4,950 Box 4. FICA tax withheld $4,650 Box 6. Medicare tax withheld $1,088 Box 17. State income tax $2,250 Mrs. Warden is not covered by her employer's retirement plan.

Mrs. Warden made a $1,500 contribution to a traditional IRA and a $2,000 contribution to a Roth IRA in 2016. Mr. Warden decided against making a contribution to any IRA. The Wardens received a $30 state income tax refund. They itemized in the prior year and elected to take their $2,000 state income tax payment as a deduction. The Wardens also received a $20 federal income tax refund. Form 1040, Schedule A The Wardens made federal estimated tax payments of $2,000 for 2016. The Wardens incurred the following medical expenses during 2016: prescription drugs, $1,000; doctor bills, $3,550; hospital bills, $1,750; transportation, $100; and eyeglasses, $500. In addition, Mr. Warden, who is self-employed, paid $3,750 in premiums for health insurance coverage for himself, his wife and children. The health insurance coverage meets all the requirements under the individual mandate. Grace Taylor is covered under Medicare. The Wardens paid their 2015 real estate taxes of $1,810 on July 1, 2016. In addition, they sold their residence on September 13, 2016. They allowed the buyer a credit equal to 70% of the estimated real estate taxes of $2,000 for 2016.

Form 4684, Section A During 2016, a burglar entered their home and stole a ring and a coin collection. The ring had been purchased in May 15, 1996 at a cost of $3,000. Mrs. Warden had purchased the coin collection in July 15, 1997 at a cost of $1,100. An insurance company appraised the ring at a fair market value of $5,000, but limited its loss coverage on jewelry under a homeowners' policy to $1,500. The insurance company excluded the coin collection from the insurance policy because of its policy restrictions on such items. At the time of the theft, the fair market value of the coin collection was $2,000. Form 2106 Mrs. Warden incurred employee business expenses in connection with her occupation as salesperson for the publishing company. On January 3, 2016, she purchased a new car that was used primarily for business reasons. The car cost $20,000. During 2016, the car was driven a total of 20,000 miles by Mrs. Warden. Of those miles, 16,600 were business related. Mrs. Warden drove 1,250 miles while commuting (five-mile daily roundtrip commute), and 2,150 miles for personal purposes. Mrs. Warden depreciates the car using a five-year MACRS recovery period, the 200% declining-balance method, and the half-year convention. However, it should be noted that depreciation on the car is limited because of the \"listed property\" rules. Mrs. Warden's gasoline, oil and insurance expenses on the car amounted to $4,750. She paid $600 in interest on the installment loan incurred to purchase the car. She also paid $50 for business parking fees and $75 for a car rental while away from home. Mrs. Warden elects to claim the actual automobile-related expenses. Assume the answers for Form 2106, Lines 18, 19, 20 and 21 are \"Yes.\" Mrs. Warden elected not to claim any Code Sec. 179 deduction or additional bonus depreciation on the car in 2016. Mrs. Warden incurred the following other business expenses: meals and entertainment, $1,500; airfare, $233; gifts to customers, $150; and business seminar, $60.

Mrs. Warden was not reimbursed for her other business expenses. The Wardens paid $500 for the preparation of their 2015 tax return (including $200 for the preparation of Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business for George Warden's furniture business), $50 for the rental of a safe deposit box where they stored their securities, and $350 for investment publications.

The gold coins were sold to an acquaintance who did not provide a Form 1099-B.

The furniture is used 100% for business. It is seven-year MACRS property. Mr. Warden elects to expense $1,000 of the cost under Code Sec. 179. Mr. Warden elected not to claim the bonus depreciation available for any business property placed in service during 2016. 4 2017 CCH Incorporated and its affiliates. All rights reserved. On July 15, 2016, Mr. Warden purchased a pickup truck for use in his business. It was driven 8,000 miles. The truck, used 100% for business, cost $47,000 and sales tax was $3,000, for a basis of $50,000. The truck is considered five-year MACRS property. Also, it falls in the classification of a light, general-purpose truck, subject to depreciation limits. On June 15, 2012, Mr. Warden purchased fixtures for the store for $6,000. The current depreciation deduction for the fixtures is $536. Mr. Warden bought a brick building on July 1, 2004, $75,000 of the price being allocable to the building for depreciation purposes. No capital improvements were made. Depreciation on the building is computed by using the MACRS method. The allowable MACRS deduction for 2016 would be calculated at the rate of 2.564%. Form 4684 On September 1, 2016, a garage that had been purchased for $25,000 on July 1, 2007 and used exclusively for Mr. Warden's business was damaged by fire. In order to repair the garage after the fire, Mr. Warden spent $7,905. The repairs are considered to be an improvement to the property, which, prior to the casualty, was being depreciated under the MACRS method for nonresidential property. The amount of depreciation claimed prior to 2016 was $5,422. Mr. Warden uses Form 4684, Section B, to determine the recognized casualty gain or loss from the fire damage to the garage. Assume that the fair market value of the garage was $24,650 before the fire and it had a fair market value immediately after the fire of $14,760. Assume, in completing Form 4684, that the total amount of depreciation that Mr. Warden had claimed for the garage up to the date of the fire was $5,876 and that he had received $5,000 from a fire insurance policy he had on the garage. After the fire, and taking into account the allowable loss deduction, the cost of repair and the insurance recovery, the new adjusted basis of the garage for depreciation purposes is $22,029. Since the basis had to be adjusted, the garage will be depreciated on a straight-line method for the remainder of the original depreciation period. The allowable MACRS deduction for 2016 would be calculated based on a rate of 3.33% per year using a mid-month convention. Form 4797 On January 3, 2016, Mr. Warden sold a business truck for $550. He had purchased the truck for $5,000 on March 12, 2007. Total depreciation allowed or allowable on the truck prior to 2016 was $5,000. FARM INCOME AND EXPENSES Form 1040, Schedule F Mr. Warden owned and operated a farm in Illinois. The Principal Agricultural Activity Code for this farm is 112111, and the principal product raised is beef cattle. Mr. Warden utilizes the cash basis to report farm income and expenses.
